And don't put your library in the Documents folder, just in case.
I performed your procedure on the new computer and thankfully all my Calibre books are back there. However, my old computer is still not showing any books in it any more.

What should I do when on the old computer that used to have all the books in there but now has none? How do I get these books back to this location?

Thanks
